NO SCHOOL Friday, May 1 and Monday, May 4 (Satellite Meals and ECP will continue.)
From the Office:
- The Governor announced Thursday that Distance Learning will continue for the remainder of the school year. There will be NO SCHOOL Friday, May 1 and Monday, May 4. Staff will be preparing for the remainder of the school year via Distance learning. School resumes using the Distance Learning model Tuesday, May 5.
- Thank you for your continued support! Please be certain to contact your child's teacher immediately with questions or concerns. We are proud to be your partner in education!
- Thank you for your continued best efforts in encouraging students to make good choices and in monitoring online behavior as best you can. This is a new learning curve for all of us, and a great opportunity to work side by side with our kiddos to learn and practice acceptable technology behavior. We've got this!
- Please remind your children to view their teacher's videos. Filled with directions, suggestions, and occasional 'clues', the videos also provide a gentle reminder of our time spent together in classrooms.
- Please see the link below to register for our PawPacks Program, designed to provide quick, easy, nutritious meals intended to help students who could use additional food, or who may not have an adult at home to help prepare food over the weekend. Packs are sent home with students at the end of each week with our Satellite Meal Program. There is NO cost and there are NO income qualifications to participate. You can register at any time; an email to Mary Holmberg will get the process started!

Catholic Charities' Foster Grandparent Program
Paynesville Area Elementary School graciously welcomes Foster Grandparents! The Foster Grandparent Program offers seniors, 55+, the opportunity to work with students in local schools, or other non-profit agencies with children who need extra assistance. Typically school “Grandma’s” and “Grandpa’s” work one-on-one with kids who need some extra support both academically and emotionally.Foster Grandparents have the ability to use their time, skills and experience to help children learn. Volunteers put in a minimum of 260 hours a year and receive a tax free stipend, mileage reimbursement, and educational opportunities.
This is a great opportunity if you have time to spare, love to be with children, and could use some extra non-taxable income. For more information, please contact Sara at 320-229-4589 or www.ccstcloud.org
